oil spill clean-up

Oil spill clean-up involves several methods to remove or contain spilled oil from water. Techniques include using booms to contain and prevent oil from spreading, skimmers to collect surface oil, and absorbent materials to soak up the oil. Chemical dispersants can break oil into smaller droplets, helping it to biodegrade more quickly. Sometimes, microorganisms are used to naturally degrade the oil. The choice of method depends on the spill size, location, and type of oil. The goal is to minimize environmental impact while efficiently removing the oil from water and coastlines.
